  • Manual Therapies for Chronic Ankle Instability: An Update on the Evidence
    Contains 5 Component(s), Includes Credits

    Several evidence-based manual therapy treatments have emerged to supplement the rehabilitation strategy for people with chronic ankle instability (CAI) such as joint mobilization and massage. These treatments can restore mechanical ankle function, improve sensorimotor function, and enhance patient-reported function in CAI patients. This session will help fill a gap between the evidence and clinical practice by reviewing the rationale for using manual therapies with CAI patients, introduce the fundamental components to clinically perform manual therapy treatments, and present evidence from mechanical, sensorimotor, and patient-centered perspectives. The overall goal is to improve clinical competency to implement manual therapies and enhance CAI patient outcomes.
